HC Deb 03 April 1941 vol 370 cc1182-3W
Sir Swedley Crooke

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that, under the new Regulations, trouble is caused by the fact that bricklayers who, when work was scarce obtained employment in munition factories, are now, when bricklayers are needed for repair and rebuilding work owing to enemy action, not allowed to leave their present occupation although the work they are now doing could very well be done by women; and will he take the necessary steps to remove this difficulty?

Mr. Bevin

No, Sir; but if my hon. Friend will send me particulars of actual cases, I shall be glad to look into them.
